Nanny Shares - Kyla offers assistance to families looking for a Nanny Share. This service does not include help finding a Nanny, it will only include help to find another family. As the cost of nannies are now $23 plus per hour, you can have the option of nanny share which for most is much more affordable. Nanny shares depending on the area are anywhere from $27 to $34 per hour which equals $13.50 to $17 per hour per family. A nanny share is when two families come together and utilize the nanny at the same time. You can find listings on her Nanny Share page.
